Have you seen the DOE's revamped website yet? It launched yesterday and it's a vast improvement over the old site both aesthetically and in terms of function. We heard the DOE might be looking to Insideschools for inspiration, and so we aren't surprised by the strengthened and more prominent "Find a School" feature — though we are a little surprised by that it has the same name as ours! Imitation is, of course, the sincerest form of flattery, and we hope the changes to its website signify that the DOE is adopting Insideschools' respect for the city's parents.

What's your take on the new site? Are you finding it easier to use than the old one? Is everything you're looking for on there?
